Poor Pluto...

WASHINGTON - Pity poor Pluto, the puny former planet is facing yet another indignity. Demoted from planethood a year ago into a new category of dwarf planet, it now turns out that it isn't even the biggest one of those.

Why not add as many planets as possible? Won't that improve our ranking in the galaxy? I mean, it's just like movies: those that gross larger box office are always better, right?

School children across the globe would rise up in protest at the thought of having to memorize them all. And in order. And spelling counts. BTW, Pluto is a fun name but have you tried some of the astronomer's picks?
